     S. An explosion at an oil field or a terminal area would involve primarily
     hazards from the explosion of raw crude oil. Health and safety presentations
     rL6ted earlier in a refinery explosion should be considered.

     6. Specific health hazards from fertilizer, pharmaceutical, or other
     petrochenlical related processes in the Kiddle East could not be obtained
     because the individual countries have classified these plants as military
     targets.  Xt is reasonable to assume that health hazards from an explosion in
     these plants could be s @ lar to those in a refinery explosion.

     7. -A copy of the complete consultation report may be obtained by contacting
     the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency. ATTN: USHB-MO-0, EA./A.PG, MD
